Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said he would complete full five-year term. According to media reports the CM tried to dispel rumourts of change in guard at the top .
His statement came after some Congress leaders, including Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath and former Mandya MP L R Shivarame Gowda, stated on Wednesday that the Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar will become the next chief minister of the state.
“I will be the chief minister for full five-year term,” Siddaramaiah told reporters in Mysuru.
Reacting to the statements made by the Congress leaders, he said that many people speak about ‘November revolution’ since he will be completing his two-and-a-half-year tenure as chief minister.
At the time of Congress coming to power in May 2023, there were speculations about a ‘pact’ under which Siddaramaiah would lead the government for the first half of the five-year tenure, followed by Shivakumar for the remaining two-and-a-half years.
